Sedro Woolley Senior High School

Summary:

Sedro Woolley Senior High School is a public high school serving 1,276 students in grades 9-12 in Sedro Woolley, Washington, which is part of the Sedro-Woolley School District. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 67.87% of students identifying as white, and a significant Hispanic population at 24.29%. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Washington high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sedro Woolley Senior High School faces several challenges, including declining graduation rates (from 92.4% in 2018-2019 to 87.0% in 2022-2023) and increasing dropout rates (from 3.7% in 2018-2019 to 9.8% in 2022-2023). The school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in SBAC English Language Arts, SBAC Math, and WCAS Science all lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 48.75% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, when compared to other nearby high schools, Sedro Woolley Senior High School performs better than La Conner High School and Mount Vernon High School in terms of graduation rates, but lags behind in academic achievement as measured by test scores. However, the significant performance gap between Sedro Woolley Senior High School and State Street High School, both within the same Sedro-Woolley School District, suggests that there may be underlying issues or resource disparities within the district that are impacting student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
